(4-Fluoro­phen­yl)(4-hy­droxy-3-methyl­phen­yl)methanone

In the title compound, C₁₄H₁₁FO₂, the two benzene rings are not coplanar, with a dihedral angle of 57.45 (12)° between their planes. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by an O—H...O hydrogen bond, forming a 2₁ helical chain along the b axis.

(4-Fluoro­phen­yl)(2-hy­droxy-5-methyl­phen­yl)methanone

In the title compound, C₁₄H₁₁FO₂, the dihedral angles beteen the central C₃O ketone residue and the fluoro- and hy­droxy-substituted benzene rings are 50.44 (9) and 12.63 (10)°, respectively. The planes of the benzene rings subtend a dihedral angle of 58.88 (9)° and an intra­molecular O—H...O hydrogen bond closes an S(6) ring. No directional inter­actions beyond van der Waals packing contacts were identified in the crystal structure.
